September 7, 2013 - It ends

I can remember seeing this solicitation

And i knew that I had already missed a few comics here and there. But this was the place that really hit me in the skull and told me. This garbage ends here. To pursue even a few of these comics could have been unwieldy in difficulty. This is where the retailers crossed the line, ticked me off, aggravated me to a degree that was unforgivable, or whatever. The story - good, bad, indifferent. I'd need to spend an insane amount of cash to acquire all of these valueless comics. That was where I walked into Pittsburgh comics the next day and said, "One copy of each from here. Thanks."
